Gabriele Rosato, PhD
Cultural Anthropologist
Trauma-Informed Practitioner
I am an ethnographer keen on making spaces culturally attuned and safe
As a trained cultural anthropologist, I bring with me a combination of academic environment, design thinking, and fieldwork research.
I am a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at the Institute of Anthropology from the Pontifical Gregorian University. Moreover, I am a lecturer in Bachelor’s programs across humanities and social sciences disciplines at Niccolò Cusano University of Rome.
My extensive research investigates what makes a place culturally safe through trauma-informed and culturally sensitive design.
I help people and organisations to create environments that respect and reflect the complexities of human experiences.
